98 Degrees is Coming Back to Manila for a Two-Night Show

It’s official! The iconic pop and R&B group 98 Degrees is heading back to Manila for not just one, but two unforgettable nights. The group, known for their smooth harmonies and timeless hits, will be performing live at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on May 30 and 31. And from what the members have shared, they’re pulling out all the stops for their Filipino fans.

Nick Lachey, Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre, and Drew Lachey are excited to be reunited with the crowd they’ve long missed. It’s been years since they last performed in the country, but the Philippines still holds a special place in their hearts. In fact, the country was one of their earliest international stops way back in 1999.

Drew fondly recalled their first trip to Manila, saying they were overwhelmed by how warm and energetic the welcome was. Jeff shared how fans in the Philippines have supported them since day one, which is why this return means so much to them. Justin even mentioned a fun fact: his brother was born in the Philippines on the same day astronauts landed on the moon, which he said makes the country feel even more special to him.

Fans can look forward to hearing all the classics like “I Do (Cherish You),” “Because of You,” and “The Hardest Thing,” along with some newer tracks. According to Nick, they’re ready to give a performance that fans will never forget, and yes, sing-alongs are highly encouraged.

With over 10 million albums sold and several chart-topping singles, 98 Degrees has remained a favorite through the decades. Their show in Manila won’t just be a nostalgic trip, it will be a full-on celebration of music and connection.

Joining them on stage are two of the Philippines’ most powerful vocalists, Katrina Velarde and Janine Teñoso, adding more excitement to the already star-studded night.

Tickets for both shows are available now via SM Tickets. For details, contact VAA Live at 0930-0921948 or (02) 8687-5853 Loc. 841.
